Two angles are considered to be adjacent angles if they have a common vertex, share a common side but don't contain common interior points, meaning they don't overlap in any way.

two angles that are adjacent

The following figures are examples of angles that are NOT adjacent.

The angles below are not adjacent angles because although they have a common vertex, they don't share a common side.

angle 1 and angle 2 are not adjacent because they don't share a common side

 

The angles below are not adjacent angles because although they share a common side, they don't have a common vertex.

angle 1 and angle 2 are not adjacent angles since they don't share a common vertex

The angles below are not adjacent angles because they overlap.
